Navigating Life’s Paths with Kim Stanley Robinson
“For me, the feeling of wayfinding, of successfully finding one's way and finding the right path- not that there's just one, but a path that feels good- is something that so many of us struggle with in a larger sense, in life, right and outdoors, you can really feel that in such a concrete way, and that feeling is just one of the best feelings there is.”
